Oh well, I was going to buy a Megan Fox shot tonite. I was just going to look at the schedule, to see if it there was any clashes etc. At least I don't to worry about it now.

How do we know that it isn't Alan Tudyk. Because it could be related to this picture: https://images.indiegogo.com/file_attachments/1282288/files/20150309181211-Con_Man_Poster-new.jpg?1425949931

I also helped to fund it too. Donated a number of times to get some of the different perks. And Mehetabel the videos are working for me. I haven't even had a chance to watch the trailer for it. I need to. LOL

I do like E Tickets and they are a lot more easier to use. I know in the past, I would buy photo tickets as and when there were ones that I wanted. So it meant that the night before the event I would have to look for all my tickets and make sure that I had them. With the e tickets, they were all in my eventbrite app and I Downloaded them to my phone incase I didn't have a signal to access the internet. cap

I do have a disability (actually 2), one is visible or more better audible. Of which is a speech disability that affects my speech and I have had it all of my life. My other one of which is a hidden one, is that I have tinnitus 24X7. Due to the noise level at LFFC, it actually cuts the sound of the ringing out. But it does have a knock on effect, when I leave the noisy area like LFFC the ringing is back a lot more loudly then it was before and it can take hours or days for it to get back to a reasonable level. I do attend these events because I enjoy them, getting pictures with stars etc. Could I use something like my tinnitus to get to the front of the queue and get out of it faster. I could try, but I never do due to my own decision to attend these. Even though I know what the outcome will be. I have crewed these events in the past, along with attending them as a attendee and I have seen a lot of people in wheelchairs or people with limited movement etc. Prefer to go in near the front of the stuff like photos, because they want to have a picture with the guest without them being in the wheelchair. There walking speed might be slow, so it makes sense for them to go in first get out of the wheel chair, get into position with the guest and have there picture taken before going back to there wheelchair. If we had them in the queue, the amount of starting and stopping within the photos would course it to go on a lot longer then it does now. It would also mean that a less people can go through it I do think that respect so go both ways, due to the noise levels and how busy the events are now. We cannot see what is going on around you or even see if there is a wheelchair behind you trying to get pass. There is limited amount of space, and once people notice that you are there. They do usually move to the best of there abilities and even let others know in front of them. That a wheelchair person is coming through. cap

Do you know the names of these shows? They sound interesting Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion web series is called Con Man. It is set in a fiction world where Alan Tudyk is on the con circuit following the cancellation of a sci fi show called Spectrum. He is the pilot in the show, and Nathan Fillion was the Caption of the spaceship on the show. Nathan's character want on to become a A lister in Hollywood. You follow the up and downs of the con scene and they even set up there own conventions in the US for the filiming. The web series is 12 episodes lasting about 10 minutes each one. It was funded through crowdfunding and they originally wanted to do 3 episodes but they got enough money. For the complete season 1, including the last 3 episodes included the Spectrum spaceship. A Con Man computer app game is being developed. So you run your own convention on your phone/tablet and see how successful it will be. They are doing a DVD of season 1 to name some of the things that is happening surrounding the web series. Unfortunately only people who have donated money will get exclusive access to each episode before non funders does.

Can you please put on the maps a sticky saying you are here. It would help greatly to work out where about you are in the event and able to get a rough direction on where you need to go. IT would also help to have a list of which floors each guest is signing on with the maps. Have them grouped like Level 1 guests, level 2 guests and so on. With the number of stair cases that were in use at the event. It would have made more sense to them only have up or down directions in operation. You might need to man the entrances to make sure that a people isn't attempting to go in the wrong direction. cap

For there to be a third, (second one in the UK/Europe after the US one) Sherlock event. I would say they would want to get either Ben or Martin interested in doing it. Because they would be the only two people who would draw the crowds to it. Hopefully get the dates sorted out before announcing it. But maybe before doing that, they are planning to have a meeting with Hartswood films to dissect the first Sherlock event, and discuss the possibility of running another one and how it could be improved in the future. I know that for a lot of us, if SM/ME cannot get Ben or Martin. The likes of Rupert, Andrew, Louise would draw a lot of us who attended Sherlock, and hopefully they could consider running a smaller event within a hotel. Which would be more inmate setting in my view and experience. cap

Thanks for QS for letting us know, and for you to clearing up what happened. cap

I know of 3 others who have upgraded and paid the additional e validation after getting the email this evening. Before they saw my message. And at least 4 others who haven't paid this latest e validation request, but have been upgraded too. cap

I know that we don't have to pay another e validation. But I will be really annoyed if I get to the event on Friday to register and get told that my ticket is not valid. cap

I know of at least one person who have paid the e validation that they have just received. Hopefully they and any others will get a refund ASAP and not after the event.

When I clicked on my link, it took me to the payment screen and it was valid and I could pay for it, if I wanted to. That why I thought I should post it on here.

I am not paying mine until it's been confirmed if I need to or not. But I know another upgrader who have just received this email too. So it might course a lot of problems or people just paying thinking that they owe it when they don't.

Hello I have just received an email saying that I owe an E Validation because I didn't click on when I purchased one of my tickets. Looking at all my orders I E Validation have been included and paid for. Could I have received this email because I upgraded tickets? cap

Why would people get nervous about events? I can understand if it is there first one and they ain't too sure what to expect. If it is not because of that, then what?

Tolkienerd, if the guest hasn't been stated for a specific day (i.e Benedict and Lara) then they are there for the whole weekend.

They have given partial refunds of group events. I know that I bought a Red Dwarf group photoshoot for an event that showmasters run. One of the guests pulled out, so they just did a partial refunded. Since they have gone to eventbrite ticketing, I don't know what they would do about it. Would they have to refund the whole ticket, and then put on a new ticket for sale with less guests for a cheaper price. cap

Get a stamp designed so that he can stamp his name.

It could be a number of things, somebody have uploaded a PHP file to the server that is run remotely or on a cron. Somebody got or had access to the ACP etc. Things I would consider, firstly move the ACP out of the default folder. There is a configurable option to tell the board where the ACP is located. So if you move the folder, the board is still able to access it. Consider having a two stage verification to the ACP if you haven't already done it. It is easy to set up and what it means is that if one of the admin accounts gets hacked they will still need to enter in another username/password to gain access to the ACP. FTP into the server and check all the directories to see if there is any strange PHP files that shouldn't be there. If there is, remove them. There is a function within the ACP that lets you run a check for suspect files within the forum directories. Inspect the server logs to see if you can narrow down the location of the PHP or the command that is being run to execute the php to update the skins. If you know the rough time that it happens at, it will narrow the search down. Look at the plugins to make sure that there is none in there that you don't know about. Check the taskings to see if anything is being run that it shouldn't be. It might take a little while, but remember the famous saying: cap

These two webpages might be of interest to you guys, it explains what is happening and how to remove it. http://blog.sucuri.net/2015/02/analyzing-malicious-redirects-in-the-ip-board-cms.html? http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2013/01/15/cleaning-up-the-ip-board-url4short-mess/ It is also a known problem for a number of years across different forums and CMS. But very briefly what is happening, is that when you are accessing the board it is executing a bit of coding to redirect you to another website. At the same time it sets a cookie on your computer for X time. After that initial redirect, when you next access the board on the same computer it will not redirect you but keep you on the board. If you access the website from another computer, it will automatically redirect you. cap

It looks like VIP is back. Don't forget, they lock the ticket for 8 minutes. If the person don't complete the order within 8 minutes, then the ticket will be available again.

How far in advance do we know which 5 guests photoshoots will be selected for us? I want to know which ones I get, so that I can decide what additional ones to buy when they go on sale. So that I don't get any duplicates. Lucky for me I have already met BC at another event and had an auto/photo with him. So I am looking for the other guests.

I would consider looking for something along the lines of FireChat for this, with what happened to the EE Network. For those of you who don't know what FireChat is. It is a IM app that have got a number of features that allows you to chat to others. IT primary uses the signal to chat to anybody within the world. If you don't have a signal, but others got blue tooth/wireless turned on. It creates a local area network between the phones and you can chat to people that way. Maybe for the next one, we could use something like that and people can ask questions and if somebody knows the answer or is close to a board with the updated times etc they could use that. cap

I wasn't in that photoshoot, but it sounds like it could have been Dennys Illic, who's a photographer who shot Amanda and had a stall at LFCC. He came to another event that Amanda was at so is well known by her fans. His Twitter... https://twitter.com/Dennydenn Oh yes, that is him. I might have to look into more about him now. cap
